Ferox, Latin for fierce, is a Celtic warrior born of Queen Boudicca. As his namesake , he courageously defended the
queen mother from the Brujah elders until exhaustion overwhelms him. Ferox was taken by the Brujah elders and made their ghoul guardian. When the Brujah fell to the Ventrue Kindred, Ferox was taken to the Ventrue elders where they tried to Blood Bond. Unsuccessful, the elders made him their ghoul guardian instead and eventually, Ferox was traded to the Tremere.
Throughout his undying years, he adopted the Christian faith and questioned the Tremere abuses of the Gargoyles. Finally, Ferox organized the Gargoyle Revolution against their masters and was rewarded with the Embrace. The Embrace transformation caused him to lose all his memory but his religious faith, which compelled him to believe that he is the fallen angel and must redeem himself in God's eyes. Ferox now sees the Nosferatu as the revolting angels which must be eradicated until Gehenna comes.
Ferox moves from on Haven church to another where he preaches to the Gargoyles and feeds on the pastors and nuns. The Nosferatu offered the Trophy on Ferox for his radical genocidal actions against Nosferatu and the rest of the Kindred, which places him 7th on the Red List of Anathema. As the hunt continues, many Kindred fear the piercing albino eyes of Ferox whose True Faith can incinerate weak Kindred instantaneously.
